    Was looking for new drivers today for the E1505 and happened to see BIOS A07 now with today's date, for anyone interested. Also, it seems the X1300/X1400 ATI driver is up with a listing date of 7/13, but the only thing it lists under fixes and enhancements is a "Fixed Component out issue". Nothing to indicate that R128573.EXE is based on an updated Catalyst driver thus far, though.

    The A07 BIOS is listed as giving "Performance Enhancements" and thats about it.

    Ive updated to A07, but havent really noticed any performance increase.

    I installed the BIOS and ATI driver last night and concur that there's no noticeable difference in performance thus far.
